Davis now leads Schivley by 947 votes. He had led by 586 votes on election night when the Solano County Registrar Recorder reported that 100 percent of the precincts had been counted.

In the same update, that includes the counting of nearly 10,000 mail-in ballots turned in Tuesday, Vallejo sales tax Measure B is now leading by 71 votes. The earlier tabulation showed it trailing by 64 votes. If ultimately successful, the 1 percent sales tax measure would generate an estimated $9.8 million annually for the financially struggling city.

Hours after the release of the new numbers, Schivley told the Times-Herald she had called Davis to congratulate him and wish him well. Davis confirmed that the two had spoken briefly by phone.

If the trend continues and Davis is ultimately declared the winner when the final votes are tallied next week, he will preside over a council with two new members. Robert McConnell and Bob Sampayan - both of whom backed Schivley - will join the council with incumbent Erin Hannigan, who received the most votes. Friday's new numbers did not alter the order of council winners.

Meanwhile, in the tight Benicia mayoral race, incumbent Elizabeth Patterson increased her lead over her opponent, Councilman Alan Schwartzman. Patterson now leads that race by 210 votes. She led by 129 on election night.

The counting of about 1,000 provisional and an estimated 400 to 500 damaged or "defective" ballots is not expected to be completed before next week, according to the Solano County Registrar of Voters Office. Election officials expect to certify the final results by Nov. 23.
